HI there. Thanks for the question. Let me see if I can help. Im sorry to hear that CJ jas an injury to the foot. If you cut a little too deep and got into the sensitive subsolar tissue of the foot, then this will be painful and susceptible to infection until the foot can grow new sole. I wouild recommend packing the area with betadine soaked gauze and then wrapping the foot with soft bandaging (like a human baby diaper for padding and then vetwrap to hold the diaper in place). Then use duct tape to seal the bottom of the bandage so it holds up to the horse walking around. Chnage this bandage every day for 5 days and pack with betadine each day. If the horse is not feeling better after this treatment, then you need to have the foot looked at by a vet. I hope this helps. Best of luck.

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.
